An important part of his presentation is to challenge the boundaries that have been established and encourages a flexibility and fluidity between categories that we construct as a society. To do this, JOAQU\u00edN LA HABANA uses his extensive experience of education in contemporary dance, ballet, theatre and song, merging with the <strong>centuries long tradition of Santer\u00eda-Shamanism<\/strong>, whose culture forms the spiritual basis for him.<\/p>\n<p>Original West African traditions are linked with spiritual rituals and Cuban theatre, connecting the dualities of the sexes with the gods\u2019 androgynous characteristics. From the metamorphoses of the cosmic powers arise the four elements that constitute the components of his modern performance art.<br \/>\nSpirituality and rationality, archaic and postmodern, soul and matter, <strong>life and afterlife,<\/strong> they all unfold and unify. The sensuousness of expression opens new ways for the audience to percieve reality.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>AND THE ART OF HARMONY OF MULTIPLICITY AND UNITY<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn the visual arts he presents a vivacious spectrum of dance, ballet, opera, operetta, musical, theatre, Cuban folklore and religious rituals. Simultaneously, Joaqu\u00edn depicts and performs the different arts and roles through song and dance, he quickly changes gender roles by changing voice timbre from baritone to mezzo-soprano, and mixes ritual music of archaic cultures with classical church music like H\u00e4ndel or Bach with Latin, jazz, funk and rock. Every performance act is an aspect of Joaqu\u00edn\u2019s artistic facets, not determined by boundaries, with an open heart and mind. This way of performing makes every act different, every show unique, special and tailored for his audience and is spontaneously adjusted according to the reaction of the audience..<\/p>\n<p>With his artistic range of performances, costumes and voices, Joaqu\u00edn depicts certain truths, but on the other hand, he pushes the boundaries, creates new ones, and implants images and inspirations to awaken new ideas.<br \/>\nJoaqu\u00edn\u2019s presentation of spirituality is not depicted solely as a strict religious majesty of monotheistic priests, but instead her uses religious elements that facilitate an act of liberation which the artist conveys through interaction with the audience. Every spiritual and esoteric element emphasises duality and androgenity, resulting in the creation and exploration of an undefinable inner-god.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the theatre is turned into a place where rituals are performed, now taken out from its original context and put in a modern situation, for an immediacy with the audience. In this theatre are represented different continents, religions and cultures brought together and unified. The spectator is led on a journey to the inner self through modern entertainment and its rationalized world to the irrational metaphysical realization of the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>The costumes have an important role in performances, the painted African bushmen, the apparel of priests and the wooden masks often appear in his shows. The different patterns, forms and colours, is a metaphor of the world over time and space, the body\u2019s movements, mirrors the journey through these different dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>The diverse costumes represent certain deities. Some costumes cover the whole body, giving him a more abstract, sexless character. This emphasis on colours and shapes is also an attempt to reach a neutral body, connecting the patriarchal and matriarchal structure of the archaic religions abolishing their contrasts.<\/p>\n<p>JOAQU\u00edN LA HABANA\u2019s current project is the opera <strong>Rhapsodia Pa\u2019 \u00c8g\u00fan<\/strong> \u2013 Hommage to the Ancestors. Thematically it is based on the poem \u201cSchwarze Erinnerungen\u201d (\u201cBlack Memories\u201d) from Mark Bauch and sensualizes the Tribute to the ancestors. The Iroko \u2013 called Baobab in West Africa \u2013 is in the middle of the stage a tree where the death meets. The main aspect in this one-man-opera is to overlap the older religions\u2019 time and space with that of the modern. The connection is being effected by bringing electronic music as well as classical, jazz, hip-hop and reggae- ton-beats, also incorporating the specific religions traditional music instruments such as drums, marimba (from Zimbabwe), cello, flute, and Tibetan gong.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>WORKSHOPS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In his workshops, Joaqu\u00edn takes us on a \u201cspiritual trip\u201d of exploration and self-creation. He shows us to what extent a person can understand his or her human character by connecting the emotions and rational dimensions with a reflection of the spiritual.\u00a0 The four-element-system or the ancient mythologies. The different energies of active-passive, male-female and how they join in one organism. Every single element is depicted and felt separately through certain. The leading questions are for example; \u201cWhat is water and how do I sense it in my body?\u201d \u201cHow does it depict itself for me as an individual and what does this feeling mean to me?\u201d. Another question developed from this is what element is more attractive to what personality.<br \/>\nThe dance is lead by the percussion which is enriched and generated from electric sound-effects. The union of sound, rhythm and movements generates new experiences with emotions, making you feel as apart of the objects, the communication and the world, intensifying the experience of being.<\/p>\n<p>A further part of the workshop is the play with masks and costumes that serves the free roll-switching and the creative self-staging. The goal is to break old traditional barriers, to experience new \u201cI-boundaries\u201d, mirror your inner self for observation and exploration. \u00a0Joaqu\u00edn puts a great emphasis on the free and experimental development of every participant: Every person should find out after his\/her age and temperament an individual personality nuances and goals and act out them out. Whether the result is inner calm or a fiery and explorative urge, the choice is in every individual to take.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nJOAQU\u00edN LA HABANA REYES was born in Cuba in August 1952, into a musical family.
